Split Enzis one of the most successful and longest running bands ever to emerge from New Zealand. The group was formed in Auckland in 1971 by Tim Finn, Philip Judd, , Robert Gillies, and Noel Crombie, who originally called themselves "Split Ends." They soon changed the spelling to honor their NZ homeland. For much of their career, the band was known for wild costumes and make-up designed by Crombie. For the first phase of their existence, the band played a kind of progressive rock infused with music-hall humor; later they slipped into a quirky new wavestyle that generated hits worldwide. Numerous personnel changes have been a defining factor for the Enz.

Missing Person Lyrics
Split Enz
Home to sweet home, it just occured to me
To be on my own, in search of bitter treats
I get so removed but you never notice it
Step in my shoes, you'll see that I don't fit
I walk home, the wrong way, hoping I'll go astray
I'd like to be a missing person
Eyes open wide, but all I see is black
You thought I was alright just wait til you get back
There'll be no-one home
And they'll stay up all night
Everyone I know, I'm wishing you goodnight
I walk home, the wrong way, hoping I'll go astray
I'd like to be a missing person
I wander the highways, asleep in your doorways
I'm wanted but I'm a missing person
Missing Person
And I fly by night, fighting to get away
On the neon lights I slip down alley ways
Only safe and sound when silence brings a chill
Now my back is turned, I know I can't stand still
I walk home the wrong way, this time I'll go astray
I like to be a missing person
I wander the highways, asleep in your doorways
I'm wanted but I'm a missing person
Missing person, missing person, missing person...
